This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete are diving deep into the world of Walleye with someone who has spent a lifetime studying and writing about them, author and biologist Paul J. Radomski.
Before Paul joined the show, however, Ang and Pete had a bit of housekeeping to take care of. Topics discussed include: wombats; reciprocation; Ringo; getting pulled overboard by Tuna; throwing Ang and anchor; Mudpuppy myths; getting attacked by a salamander; and guessing fish weights.
With those matters out of the way, author Paul J. Radomski joins the show. Topics discussed include: why he chose to write a book about walleye; the infamous eye; why Sauger are underappreciated; whether Walleye are well-suited for catch and release; Paul's case for fishing during the spawn; whether slot sizes work; why genetics matter; Canadian fish growing slower; the curious case of Lake Scugog; whether wild fish are more fit that stockers; losing habitat; buying out commercial fisheries; and much more!
